Why have a funeral?
It is important to recognize that funerals are for the living.
Funerals help family and friends acknowledge loss and take the
first step to overcoming grief. A funeral brings people together
at a time when they most need each other's care and support.
A meaningful service tailored to the needs and desires of
the family will be an important occasion for family and friends
to remember the one who dies and to share the experience together.

able to manage it. Pre-arranging a funeral is a secure and sensible
way to make these decision ahead of time.
